9. Interstellar

Anne Hathaway won’t be taking home another statue for her teary monologue on how love transcends time and space. And Nolan fans may have to wait another day to see their director acknowledged by the Academy. However, Interstellar won’t go home empty handed thanks to glorious images of a wormhole and a black hole, vivid designs overseen by physicist Kip Thorne. These visuals are so magnificent, they may even help Interstellar steal the cinematography prize—though we rather they didn’t.
